All wristbands handed out about 12:35pm, maybe 500-1000 people were still left in line. #SDCC #HallH #HallHLine @HallHLineSDCC @SDCCLineUpdates

@ant_toe_knee_oh Where did you get the wristband?

Just got my wristband. Still on C #hallh

@SDCCGuide In the same panel, it's adorable

And the most adorable panelist award goes to Utkarsh Ambudkar's daughter on the Ghosts panel. #SDCC #comiccon

@charliermarsh @ibuildthecloud @AnthropicAI I still think we're very much in this era of automoniois development though: x.com/i/status/20763…

@ibuildthecloud @AnthropicAI I suspect the bottlenecks to a lot of this kind of work have shifted considerably. I’m confident that a frontier model can speed up the toolchain, but how would those changes ever get merged? Who will understand them? Who will maintain them? (I only have questions not answers.)

If @AnthropicAI wants to really flex hard, use Fable to speed up rust tool chain. I'm not kidding. This is a task AI would be perfect at, and we would all benefit because it's clear that rust plus AI is a winning combo and holy crap, we are CPU bound.

FYI the left most screen of #HallH has been briefly glitching every now and then. So far it comes back in less than a minute, but maybe find a seat appropriatly. #SDCC cc: @SD_Comic_Con

@SDCCLineUpdates A lot of people left HallH after the Wolverrine panel, don't know what the queue looks like outside

🔊 Alllrighty QUEUE CREW! 💛 Let’s do a lunch time round up - How’re we looking out there? 👀 #SDCCLineUpdates #SDCC2026

A lot of people left after the Wolverine panel #SDCC #HallH #SDCCLINEUPDATES

@HallHLineSDCC @OodlesOfRevenge Several columns like that can be compressed into a single chute

Info AND photos! Thanks to @OodlesOfRevenge #hallh #hallhline #sdcc

@simonw @baburaocandance Decades of security evidence has shown that security by obscurity is not effective, and you should never just trust the words of a company that "it's secure". Without a transparent post mortem it's impossible to assess if this is a gimmick or not.

@baburaocandance How did they get Hugging Face to play along?

Tucked away in this article is an appeal to the AI skeptics to PLEASE stop writing off stories like this OpenAI accidental exploit of Hugging Face as a dishonest marketing trick Frontier models can find and exploit vulnerabilities now, it helps nobody to pretend that they can't!

@charliermarsh If I could be paid to optimize tooling I would be doing the same, I do it for free anyway 🙃

Optimizing Codex over the weekend. This is my favorite kind of work. I could do it forever.

@charliermarsh I find myself also doing this kind of thing, but it does require someone to know it's a good idea and that the output is sane.

Migrated our marketing site off WordPress headless CMS (please don't ask) to fully static. The kind of thing that I wouldn't have bothered with in the past. Now it takes ~zero of my time, one-shot by the model. An incredible moment in time that will only accelerate.

@claudeai @charliermarsh FWIW, that workflow is still going while I've been out and about, 13 hours and counting:

@claudeai Why does OpenAI's codex not have deterministic workflows? I saw a talk (youtube.com/watch?v=KHWWSW…) on such a feature at the Rust NYC meetup in OpenAI's offices a whole month prior to Anthropic's announcement. It's the main reason I'm holding off on codex. cc: @charliermarsh

To best make use of my time for OSS, I kick off long deterministic workflows with @claudeai code, while I'm $DAYJOBing or sleeping. I have three main use cases: * Bug sweeping * Deep dive research * Prototyping a feature by trying out all possible implementations

@charliermarsh Very happy to see uv pushing forward in this space, will definitely be following along, and perhaps adopting in other Python packaging tools.

PSA: Set `UV_MALWARE_CHECK=1` to cross-reference the Open Source Vulnerabilities (OSV) database prior to installing packages from a remote registry. uv will then block installation of any packages reported as malware.

@charliermarsh Same...

Air quality in NY is bad so I have to stay inside and be on computer

@PlaytonicGames K7

Darn trees! They just love being the centre of attention! 🌳 Think you can crack the last two bits of this code? Drop a guess in the comments and you could be the lucky one to get a Steam key for early access to the Time Trial alpha playtest for Super Yooka-Laylee Kart!

@charliermarsh Now VersionRange has landed into packaging main, allowing version algebra, I plan to start looking at uv and poetry and stealing the best idea to allow for marker algebra.

All of this is powered by a really cool library we use for marker algebra. We can perform ANDs, ORs, negations, complements, etc. on markers using binary decision diagrams.

We found a few optimizations that let us reduce the size of uv.lock files by "compressing" the environment markers. Some of our lockfiles are 40-50% smaller now.

@siw101 @SD_Comic_Con Same, don't think it updated for everyone

@SD_Comic_Con All I saw is room 9 for children. Everything else is like sails pavilion

And the Sunday #SDCC programming schedule is LIVE! comiccon2026.sched.com

When optimizing your code autonomously with LLMs against a benchmark you really need to appreciate it's likely finding a local minimum. Just before your performance improved 10% after millions of tokens doesn't mean it can't improve 90% after one good idea.
